21-9-7 Chinese social media site Weibo suspends 22 K-pop accounts: A group of K-pop fans in China have become the latest victims of a crackdown on celebrity culture. Twenty-two fan accounts have been suspended by Chinese social media site Sina Weibo for what it called "irrational star-chasing behaviour".
21-9-2 China's media cracks down on 'effeminate' styles: China's broadcasting regulator has said it will ban "effeminate" aesthetics in entertainment shows and that "vulgar influencers" should be avoided. It's part of a tightening of rules over what it described as "unhealthy content" in programmes.
[Increased control-freakery typically indicates internal problems that frighten authoritarians. The cracks are showing, Xi. What's next? A financial recession? A WAR?]
Chinese President Xi Jinping has restated the commitment to "common prosperity" and in this pledge to redistribute wealth, high-earning tech tycoons and entertainment stars have been singled out recently. The television regulator also ordered broadcasters to rein in high salaries paid to stars and clamp down on tax evaders. Last week, Chinese actress Zheng Shuang was fined $46m (£33m) for tax evasion.
[Presumably in keeping with militaristic intentions] The authorities pledged to promote what it defined as more masculine images of men and criticised male celebrities who use lots of make up. However, it said programmes that promoted traditional, revolutionary or "advanced socialist" culture, or foster a patriotic atmosphere, were to be encouraged.
The National Radio and Television Administration (NRTA) said political and moral conduct should be included as criteria in the selection of actors. Certain talent contest show formats have also been stopped. Mass voting for reality programmes will also no longer be allowed unless it is done by live audiences.

21-8-29 Chinese university appears to ask for lists of LGBTQ+ students for ‘investigation’: Survey by Shanghai University that asked colleges to research the political stance and ‘state of mind’ of members of LGBTQ+ communities has sparked alarm.
A well-known Chinese university appears to have asked its colleges to make lists of their LGBTQ+ students and report on their “state of mind”, according to a purported internal directive published online on both Chinese and foreign social media platforms.Shanghai University has not confirmed the request or responded to queries about its intention, but it has sparked alarm among young Chinese people, coming after a crackdown on campus groups and organisations supporting LGBTQ+ and feminist communities.
The “Campus Survey”, citing “relevant requirements”, asked colleges to “investigate [and] research” students identified as LGBTQ+. It also requested information on the students’ state of mind and psychological condition, including political stance, social contacts, and mental health status. The questionnaire did not explain what “relevant requirements” it was referring to.
